Hi all,
This is certainly something I'm looking forward to as I've been pluggin' away at a local strategy for almost 3 years... I have continued to believe that the internet has to become pervasive as a local tool but still don't see a lot of clear indications of what mechanisms (other than our own relatively small effort and similar niche players) are out there to "get local" for the local businesses. I can see the big fortune 500 pushing a "top-down" decentralization of their strategies but that's entirely different from Uncle Bob promoting and selling nails for his local hardware store market. I'd be interested to hear how you all think it's going to play out?
cheers,
kurt
